18K Yellow Gold Baume & Mercier Riviera Swiss-Made Quartz Watch

This elegant 18K yellow gold diamond Riviera watch by Baume & Mercier combines refined Swiss watchmaking with the bold geometric design that made the Riviera collection famous. The watch features a 22 mm round dial with a softly textured cream dial patterned with the Baume & Mercier Phi (Φ) logo, a subtle signature of the brand. Gold tone hour and minute hands sweep across the dial, while Roman numerals mark the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions. 

The remaining hours are indicated by bezel set round brilliant cut diamonds, adding brilliance without overpowering the clean design. Encircling the dial is a minute track along the outer perimeter, featuring black stick markers for individual minutes and gold bar markers at each hour. The dial itself sits within a striking 12-sided (dodecagonal) geometric outer case set with 48 round, brilliant-cut diamonds, creating a luminous frame that enhances the watch’s presence while maintaining the Riviera collection’s architectural character. 

The case back is stamped #5099126 / 65510, confirming its model and production references. Completing the design is an integrated three piece 18K yellow gold bracelet, a hallmark of the Riviera line. The bracelet features satin-finished inner links contrasted by high-polished outer links, creating a sophisticated interplay of textures. It secures comfortably with a fold-over deployment clasp, ensuring both elegance and practicality. The watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, offering reliable precision with minimal maintenance.

Founded in 1830, Baume & Mercier is one of Switzerland’s historic watch houses, known for creating timepieces that balance technical precision with elegant design. The brand has long focused on watches that embody accessible luxury and timeless style. The Baume & Mercier Riviera collection was first introduced in 1973, during a period when luxury watchmakers began experimenting with sport-chic designs and integrated bracelets. Inspired by the relaxed glamour of the French Riviera, the collection blended bold geometric cases with refined materials, creating a watch that could transition effortlessly from casual seaside settings to formal occasions. Its distinctive multi-sided bezel and integrated bracelet quickly made it one of the brand’s most recognizable designs.
